Our history
Over 75 years of innovation and leadership
A family company, LEMO has always been totally independent which made it possible to build a long-term vision. Management has always been highly involved and pragmatic, adapting its means and reinvesting profit, safeguarding sound finances. As a result: over 75 years of controlled regular growth, despite the sometimes turbulent economic or global health issues encountered along the way.
Such remarkable stability has enabled us to focus on our primary mission, to innovate and design cutting-edge interconnection solutions. It has also made it possible for us to acquire a deep understanding of application requirements whilst building mutually respectful and trustful relationships with customers. A host of customers have trusted us for years, even decades. The durability of our solutions is also built on long-term human relationships.

Three CEO's, continued independence
Three generations of the same family have been at the helm of LEMO. This has been one of the keys to the Group’s continuous success.
The company is now widely recognised as the global leader in the field of interconnect solutions. In addition to the ingenuity and dedication of its founder and engineers, what has allowed the LEMO Group to grow in such a stunning manner?
The continued quest for excellence based on our three basic principles : independence, quality and innovation.
